Whilst looking at the emacspeak script provided to launch
emacspeak 23, I noticed that emacs is invoked with the -q option.
In Raman's canonical /usr/bin/emacspeak script, it is not evoked like
that, but if that option is passed to his script, then a ~/.emacs file
is not loaded.
In my script, I evoke the file with a -q so I don't inadvertently load
my ~/.emacs file.
In
(introducing-emacspeak.info)Installation
I simply say
exec emacs -q \
-l /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/emacspeak/lisp/emacspeak-setup.el \
$INITSTR $CL_ALL
That will load your ~/.emacs if you specify it.
But in my own /usr/local/bin/emacspeak-espeakf script, which is for a
blue background, I run the following, which has ten additional lines:
exec emacs -q \
-fn '-Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--20-200-75-75-C-100-ISO8859-1' \
-l /home/bob/.emacs_short \
-l /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/emacspeak/lisp/emacspeak-setup.el \
-l /home/bob/.emacs-neutral-for-emacspeak \
-l /home/bob/.emacs-for-blue-emacspeak \
--eval "(desktop-save-mode 0)" \
--eval '(dtk-chunk-only-on-punctuations)' \
--eval "(dtk-set-punctuations 'some t)" \
--eval "(setq frame-title-format '(\"Emacspeak espeakf: %b\"))"\
--eval '(set-frame-name "Emacspeak espeakf")' \
--visit /home/bob/.emacs-for-blue-emacspeak \
$INITSTR $CL_ALL
